nevermore

I was browsing Urban Threads earlier in the year, they have some very funky stuff, when this pattern popped up (for free - nothing better). This was to celebrate Edgar Allen Poe's 200th birthday. This sort of thing appeals to Matt and he asked if I could make one for him. So I did, any excuse and it was so easy. i finished the stitching a while back and finally got around to painting the thin brown wire and did a quick quilt job on the black material. If Matt gets sick of it, it will make a great place mat!

It is now residing outside his bedroom replacing a photo of him skiing when he was 8, which i broke the other day (doh) much to Matt's relief as along with most teenagers, doesn't like to be reminded he was little and cute once.
